these are a few of my favorite things

Happy Monday, everyone! I hope you had a nice weekend. It was lovely chez Tollipop, owing to a delightful moment of family togetherness at our favorite Thai restaurant wherein I practically bathed myself in green curry, a Saturday morning at the park with the girls, much listening to Christmas carols and practising a few of our own, and the promise that snow, yes snow, is coming to Las Vegas!

Does it get any better than this?!

Incidentally, I am glossing over the rough patches wherein girls sulked at being told to wear socks, uprisings occurred over household chores, tempers flared at perceived injustices (not mine, darling!), and I dreamed briefly of myself as a mysterious, unfathomable artist living in Paris...

Just because I choose to dwell on the prettier moments doesn't mean we don't have our mutinies, our coup d'états, our dreaded piles of laundry!

At any rate, I wanted to offer something pretty to you, dear reader. This is not an original idea by any means, but I made a few Tollipop gift tags for you to download and use at your leisure. A carefully wrapped package has always been a source of delight to me, and although I feel somewhat pressed for time these days, I hope to spend a few relaxing moments before the 25th surrounded by paper and string.
